I have literally no noticed durability loss, and I'm usually taking at least one character to nightmare V during seasonal, and without laying it on too thick, I'm like supes casual. If you haven't played it in a while, give it another shot, then come back and yell at me.

I only quit, I didn't rage quit. Trying D3 again is on my list. But I still have a bunch of games on my Steam I haven't even started or finished yet.

The one thing I liked about D3 was playing hardcore mode and that one jump down the hole spot, where its all RNG if you are going to lose your character because you can't escape except through the exploding poison minions shielded rare that's in your way.

Awe gently caress you beat me to it! I just came to say,

Its gently caress up Friday! What stupid poo poo do they have up their sleeves for this fine Friday?

When is the last Friday that CIG hasn't released / done something comically stupid? I've come to enjoy waiting for them to gently caress up so we have some poo poo to talk about for the weekend.

I dunno how much more they can cull their herd without people starting to get a wee bit suspicious

they've already lost several key guys, if this poo poo is real and more high up people are leaving or pushed out (the rumors about tony z have persisted for months), that's probably not great news to release right now

tony z was supposed to be in charge of the economy and pay to win stuffs, no idea why they haven't trotted him out to try and clean up some of these bad optics

Well good thing it's still early days then.

On a completely unrelated note, it's been awhile since we've had a ship sale don't you all think?

Well, a finished game is the last thing the cultists want. The moment there is a 1.0, people will start comparing what was actually delivered to what was hyped, or what they dreamt up for themselves, and the difference will at least send the press into a negative frenzy, even if the cultists keep pounding the "its only 1.0 and tier 1, the really good stuff will come with 2.0 and tier 2 stuff, these things take time, and development only really started 1 year ago! Bloody goons with their FUD!"

Of course the cultists don't want it completed, but some more sane backers do. Have they been hit by an "illusory promise"?

Correct, if you pay money to have the best of everything for your ship, then no one has an unfair advantage over you, we're all on equal footing by spending X. Bing Bong, makes perfect sense.

Not that they'd say, but I wonder what the total number of employees is at now. Because I doubt very highly that it's still the 400 or whatever number the whales throw around.

Whatever the number is, it is too high. The company should be six people or so right now at most. All working on building an engine from scratch that can support all the bullshit they want.

That doesn't sound like a good idea. Without any ship artists and designers you'd greatly hurt the primary revenue stream.

Wait, is that a bad spot to be in?

At this point it would be since they have spent all their monies on their Santa Monica office. A couple of years ago they had a few dozen million that they could have lived off while making the engine.

There's something else about bears not many people know. If a bear gets hooked on the taste of crowdfunding, it becomes a man-killer. He'll go on a rampage and has to be destroyed. And that's why you should never hug a bear.

So wait....

This literally says "As soon as you spend all this money to win, then you don't have to spend any more, and therefore it's not pay to win."

Also missing is the casual fact that probably everything he named would fall into to the $750-$1000 bucket.
